  1. This won't work because of the way jQuery handles the button name (can be with or without quotes)

    This will work:


    var button_name = 'Test';

    var dialog_buttons = {};

    dialog_buttons[button_name] = function(){ closeInstanceForm(Function); }

    dialog_buttons['Cancel'] = function(){ $(this).dialog('close'); }

    $('#instanceDialog').dialog({ buttons: dialog_buttons });

  2. The problem here is that the dialog plugin does not assign an id to its buttons, so it's quite difficult to modify them directly.

    Instead, initialise the dialog as normal, locate the button by the text it contains and add an id. The button can then be accessed directly to change the text, formatting, enable/disable it, etc.

    $("#dialog_box").dialog({
    buttons: {
    'ButtonA': function() {
    //... configure the button's function
    }
    });
    $('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:contains(ButtonA)').attr("id","dialog_box_send-button");
    $('#dialog_box_send-button').html('Send')

  3. What you can do is assign the button in the dialog an ID and then manipulate it using standard jQuery.

    $("#dialog_box").dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    modal: true,
    resizable: false,
    buttons: [{
    text: "Ok",
    "id": "btnOk",
    click: function () {
    //okCallback();
    },

    }, {
    text: "Cancel",
    click: function () {
    //cancelCallback();
    },
    }],
    close: function () {
    //do something
    }
    });


    Set button text

    $("#btnOk").val("new label");

  4. var buttonName = "something";
    $('#button-id').attr('value', buttonName);

  5. This will work
    $($("button", $("#dialogId").parent())[NUMBER_OF_YOUR_BUTTON]).text("My Text");

  6. And don't forget

    $($("button", $(".info_dialog").parent())[1]).html("<span class='ui-button-text'>Button text here.</span>");

  7. Maybe I'm missing the point - but wouldn't the easiest way be to use the setter?

    $("#dialog_box").dialog({
    buttons: {
    [
    text:"OK",
    click: function() {
    //... configure the button's function
    }
    ]
    });

    $("#dialog_box").dialog("option", "buttons", { "Close": function() { $(this).dialog("close"); } });

  8. assign a class to the button. The button text will be in a span with a class called ui-button-text inside your defined class.
    So if you give your button the class .contacts-dialog-search-button then the code to access the text will be:

    $('.ui-button-text','.contacts-dialog-search-button').text();


    here is the code I'm using for my current projects buttons, to give you an example.

    buttons : [
    {
    text : 'Advanced Search',
    click : function(){
    if($(this).dialog("option", "width")==290){
    $('#contacts-dialog-search').show();
    $(this).dialog("option", "width", 580);
    $('.ui-button-text','.contacts-dialog-search-button').text('Close Search');
    }
    else{
    $('#contacts-dialog-search').hide();
    $(this).dialog("option", "width", 290);
    $('.ui-button-text','.contacts-dialog-search-button').text('Advanced Search');
    }
    },
    "class" : "contacts-dialog-search-button"
    }
    ]

  9. Yes completely possible with inline behaviour:


    Create Dialog class with two setter method, setYesButtonName() and setNoButtonName.




    function ConfirmDialog() {
    var yesButtonName = "Yes";
    var noButtonName = "No";
    this.showMessage = function(message, callback, argument) {
    var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
    .html(message)
    .dialog({
    modal: true,
    closeOnEscape: true,
    buttons: [
    {
    text:yesButtonName,
    click: function() {
    if (callback && typeof(callback) === "function") {
    if (argument == 'undefined') {
    callback();
    } else {
    callback(argument);
    }
    } else {
    $(this).dialog("close");
    }
    }
    },
    {
    text:noButtonName,
    click: function() {
    $(this).dialog("close");
    }

    }
    ]
    });
    $dialog.dialog("open");
    };

    this.setYesButtonName = function(name) {
    yesButtonName = name;
    return this;
    };

    this.setNoButtonName = function(name) {
    noButtonName = name;
    return this;
    };
    }





    Create Object of ConfirmDialog class.

    this.CONFIRM_DIALOG = new ConfirmDialog();

    Call method on any event, let's say onclick()

    OK_DIALOG.setYesButtonName('Wana Marry').showMessage('Worst Idea!!');



    Job Done!!

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
